Before taking up his position, however,
young Belmont turned to him and said;

the report may not alarm father, who
is upstairs.

PATERSON, n. j., January 3l.-The
greatest excitement exists here over the
announcement that I, 700 silk-dyers and
helpers employed in the great mills
here will strike tomorrow unless their
demands for an increase of one dollar Il
week are complied with; that fifty-fve
hours shall constitute a weeks work,
and q number of concessions, which
the employers say would practically
give them control of the business,
be granted. Employers state that they
will resist all such demands and let the
strike go on, no matter what may be
the consequences. The utmost anxiety
isdelt here as to the outcome of the
crisis II the strike should be pro-
longed, it would leave thousands Of
hands destitute who would be compelled
to stop work by reason OF the dyerS
being out.
